Have you ever seen or bought these coconut date rolls at the grocery store? I’ve bought them a few times, because I love that they only have 3 ingredients, but they are so expensive! They’re a nice healthy sweet treat to have around the house, which is why I decided to make my own. They are so easy to make and can last a while in the fridge.
These make a great treat if you are on the autoimmune paleo protocol! They are also paleo and vegan!

How do these date rolls fare at room temperature? I would love to take these on a road-trip I’m taking soon! I have a cooler, but I am thinking about when we run out of ice.
They do great at room temperature! I’ve taken them on road trips to and they’ll last. They might get a bit softer, but they’re still good!
How long can you keep them in the fridge? I just bought these at the store and loved them.. Can’t wait to try making them at home!! Thanks for the recipe!
Not sure, but I’ve had them in the fridge for a few weeks and they were fine.
These date balls are amazing!
Hi, I’m not sure why, but I can’t get the pictures you posted of the rolls to appear. Maybe something to do with “cookies”? Anyway, are these the same as the natural delights coconut date rolls? I just made them and stuck them in the fridge, but I’m wondering how to get the texture the same. When I buy them in the store, I also don’t refrigerate them so is this necessary. There are also only two ingredients in the store bought ones. And one more question (sorry????), but I was thinking of making them at thanksgiving, have you ever tried freezing and defrosting them? So I can prepare ahead of time? Thank you for your answers and your recipes!!
I think you could freeze them and defrost. Haven’t tried it yet, but don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Enjoy!
